What the heck happened to TK and Graham Rahal?

Graham hasnt had any speed all weekend so far. They tried something on TK's car for quals but it obviously backfired. He was not too happy. In an interview he said they obviously dont know what they are doing.:eek:

I love it when drivers say stupid crap like that. Especially since TK is 7th in points and Marco is 8th. The guys on the team obviously know enough to get those two to the top ten overall in a hyper-competitive series but man, make ONE mistake and you don't know what you are doing. :rolleyes:
 
Sato is absolutely horrible.

Congrats to Helio Castroneves for the win.
